Recording - Basics Recording a picture Using the ND filter Using the ND filter (the ND filter 1 setting corresponds to 1/4 of the quantity of light and the ND filter 2 setting corresponds to 1/32 of the quantity of light), you can record a picture clearly by adjusting light amounts, even if you shoot under too bright conditions. When the ND1 or ND2 indicator flashes on the LCD screen or in the viewfinder The ND filter is necessary. When ND 1 flashes, set the ND FILTER selector to 1 so that the ND 1 indicator on the LCD or viewfinder screen stops flashing and remains on. When ND 2 flashes, set the ND FILTER selector to 2 so that the ND 2 indicator on the LCD or viewfinder screen stops flashing and remains on. When ND OFF flashes on the LCD screen or in the viewfinder The ND filter is not necessary. Set the ND FILTER selector to OFF so that the indicator disappears from the LCD or viewfinder screen. The ND filter is now deactivated. ND FILTER OFF 1 2 Notes •If you set the ND FILTER selector to another positions during recording, the picture may be blurred or audio noise may occur. We recommend that you check the position of the ND FILTER selector before shooting. •When shooting a too bright object, diffraction off the small aperture may cause slight off set in focusing. This phenomenon is quite common with a use of a video camera recorder. Using the ND filter will reduce influence of such phenomenon, and you can attain a better shooting condition. When the DISPLAY switch located on the front of the viewfinder is set to OFF or turning off the indicators using the DISPLAY button The ND filter indicator will disappear after you set the ND FILTER selector to the appropriate position according to the ND filter indication. When you adjust the iris manually The selected position is displayed, however, the recommended position of the ND FILTER selector is not indicated. 17
